Get Real: A Spiritual Journey for Men Book

When faced with the challenging expectations of being a man in our culture, of being both tough and tender, sensitive and stoic, many men find it easiest to put up a false face for the rest of the world. Behind that barrier men can find safety from the pressure they feel. But the price for that safety can be high. When Derek Maul found himself behind that barrier with his marriage at risk, he realized that to be honest about his feelings, he would need help from other Christian men to stay grounded in reality. He founded a group, called the Men's Room, where he and others covenanted to pray, share, and support one another in their attempts to get--and stay--real. In the Men's Room Maul learned that when men can get real about their spiritual life, they find it possible to share honestly with other men in a way that is authentic, brave, and energizing. Maul shares these insights for men and those who love them in this engaging and enlightening book. Give this book to a man you know who 'needs to get real, ' especially if that man is yourself.
